Vantaggi

Stock options. May be too late now but that was the biggest positive joining pre-IPO. Great benefits as well.

Svantaggi

- management is clueless. Preach the same concepts over and over again without applying practice and offering real-time guidance - a lot of micromanagers who want to watch you clock in and clock out of work. Zero trust and confidence in the folks they hire - retention was worst I’ve seen at any company - ROE and internal bureaucracy was very bad. Not set up for it to be equitable for even 20% of reps. Need a lot of luck - pay was awful. Not even close to being competitive in the current market. Stock options were good but doesn’t make up for poor base and variable. - a lot of talk and no action. Management used to say “changes are coming” and there was never any follow up

Vantaggi

Datadog has a strong product, smart coworkers, and a fast paced environment that teaches you a lot quickly. I learned a tremendous amount about observability, technical discovery, outbound prospecting, and how modern engineering organizations operate. The company has also gives reps exposure to large accounts and technical conversations early in their careers.

Svantaggi

The ramp for newer AEs can feel steep, especially in a hgihly competitive outbound environment. Success often depends on timing, territory, pipeline momentum, and consistent coaching. There can also be a significant pressure tied to activity metrics and pipeline generations, which may be difficult for reps still developing confidence and process consistency.
